Anybody know a good lemmy client (app) i can use on my phone. I tried lemmur didn't go well. I was hoping you guys might know a good app
This may dumb, but could someone just repurpose an existing reddit client? There's a few open source ones.

I'm basically reverse engineering my favorite reddit client to build the one I'm working on. I posted an apk below if you want to test an early alpha.
Compared to the visual part we see, the federated stuff in the background is likely 80% of the work in the app, reddit doesn't use activity pub so 80-90% needs to be different anyway and so it is probably nicer just to write all fresh code.
Someone seriously needs to build a GTK/Libadwaita client
If there were 3 of me, one of them would be building a desktop client using iced, the rust GUI toolkit.
Thanks for being one of you and doing what you do! I appreciate it :)
I am also waiting for various rust GUIs(azul, orbit tk) too...
I simply saved the browser version as an app. Works great
I'll try that ig
The F-droid version of Lemmur is currently outdated and does not log in. Otherwise it is fine I think.
Thanks for the reply man
It's at 0.8.0 now on F-droid.
Lemmur is the best currently.
I've been working on a native android client called Jerboa recently, but I'm maybe 2 weeks or so away from a beta.
Damn, you're working on a lot of things.
Jerboa
love that name btw
Thx! Was between that and muskrat lol.
Well if you think its unstable i guess its better to wait. But if its usable i can try it
YMMV. I've downloaded it but I can't login. I click add for the account and it just hangs. Probably depends on your phone's OS build.
I'm not sure what else exists, but I think your options are listed here.
Are you able to specify what didn't go well when you tried Lemmur
I didn't really like it tbh was looking for an alternative. And thanks dude for the comment
In my case, Flutter apps just don't do it at all. I don't know if it is my phone or a bug in the toolkit, but apps made with it are just too sluggish for me. I just use Lemmy's PWA capabilities on my phone.
My Jerboa client is still alpha level, but if you want, i can give you an apk to help me test it.

For iOS Remmel is good, I am actually typing this from it.
